I've always been an athletic guy, but the extent to which I go for 'True Blood' or for 'Magic Mike' is because of the role that I'm playing.

I screen tested for Training Day many years ago, which was David Ayer's script with Antoine Fuqua directing.

I don’t think there’s any such thing as male objectification…I think that word exists only with women because there are societal pressures for them to behave a certain way and to look a certain way. Someone put it to me once: Women are sex objects and men are success objects. That was really interesting to me.

Sometimes people say things they don't mean, and you just have to let it go.

Once you become famous, being single becomes a liability.

I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.

I think you can be athletic and intellectual at the same time.
